[Bug 47854] New: Block Windows 10 updates
by WineHQ Bugzilla 03 May '21

03 May '21

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47854 Bug ID: 47854 Summary: Block Windows 10 updates Product: Wine-Testbot Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: fgouget(a)codeweavers.com Distribution: --- Windows Updates can interfere with the Wine tests in many ways: * By causing disk traffic they could slow down some tests, causing them to time out. (Some Wine tests are already somewhat slow. Obviously making them faster and/or improving QEmu's disk performance would be great but barring that preventing undue external disk traffic is necessary) * Windows installing an update at the same time WineTest is testing MSI installs could cause interference. * There is also a risk of Windows scheduling a reboot during a test, or popping up a window asking to reboot during Wine's windowing tests. And in any case Windows Updates are a waste of CPU, network and disk bandwidth since VMs will be reverted as soon as the test is completed. For these reasons pre-Windows 10 versions are configured with Windows updates disabled. But for Windows 10 that's not possible. So instead the 'Windows Update' service is disabled. However that does not survive reboots. So LibvirtTool could maybe run a command to re-disable that service when it creates a live snapshot. That command could also be repeated in WineRunTask before starting the tests. Also for Windows 10 >= 1703 it is possible to set the network connection to metered mode. This appears to prevent updates no matter what limit is set which means it's preferable to set a large limit to avoid notifications abut being past the limit. To set the network connection in metered mode: * In Windows >= 1703: Settings -> Ethernet -> Ethernet (Connected) -> 'Set as metered connection'. * In Windows >= 1809 This page also describes a regedit based approach. It's unclear if it works with older Windows 10 versions. https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/ethernet-metered-connection-windows-10-d… [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\DefaultMediaCost] "Ethernet"=DWORD:2 Note that this requries changing the ownership on DefaultMediaCost to the Administrators group and then back to its original owner, TrustedInstaller, aka "NT Service\TrustedInstaller" (use those Advanced buttons). -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 47849] New: Simplify BuildCros() in Build.pl
by WineHQ Bugzilla 03 May '21

03 May '21

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47849 Bug ID: 47849 Summary: Simplify BuildCros() in Build.pl Product: Wine-Testbot Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: fgouget(a)codeweavers.com Distribution: --- Build.pl is the script that's responsible for building PE executables that can be used to runt he tests on Windows VMs. Currently it's still jumping through hoops to produce PE executables (see BuildNative() and BuildCross()), which is most likely unnecessary since Wine now builds all tests as PE executables by default. So that code could likely be simplified but we would not want to lose speed advantage either: the build VM never compiles a full Wine which means patches touching headers don't cause 45+ minutes builds. Also the current code still works so it's not necessarily urgent. Side note: In fact it could be argued that the build VMs are unnecessary now since any Wine VM could produce these PE executables. There's some caveats with that though: - Wine may not produce PE executables on some platforms. For instance for a while it looked like MinGW was not usable on NetBSD, forcing the TestBot to produce only regular ELF executables. That got fixed but the issue may happen again on other Unix platforms. Maybe. - In the absence of support for load balancing it's useful to have a separate build VM to spread the load. That VM could be a repurposed Wine VM though. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 47853] New: Allow testing in any locale on Wine VMs
by WineHQ Bugzilla 03 May '21

03 May '21

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47853 Bug ID: 47853 Summary: Allow testing in any locale on Wine VMs Product: Wine-Testbot Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: fgouget(a)codeweavers.com Distribution: --- Because Wine VMs run Unix, running a test in a locale is a simple matter of setting $LANG (*), creating a new WinePrefix for good measure, and running the test normally. This does assume that the relevant locales have been configured before hand which is an easy one-time task when setting up the VM. Wine VMs already have a list of missions they perform for wine-devel patches from which we can derive a list of locales to offer on the 'Submit job' page (see bug 47852). But we would not want to run every patch through every possible locale as this would take too much time (there are dozens of locales). But extra locales could be included in the 'Submit job' page to allow debugging of these locales. (*) And $LC_ALL too??? -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 48092] New: On cw-rx460 the win32 WineTest run gets interrupted before it completes
by WineHQ Bugzilla 03 May '21

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48092 Bug ID: 48092 Summary: On cw-rx460 the win32 WineTest run gets interrupted before it completes Product: Wine-Testbot Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: fgouget(a)codeweavers.com Distribution: --- cw-rx460 runs wt-daily (*), just like cw-gtx560. But when running the plain 32 bit tests on cw-rx460 (cw-gtx560-t32), wt-daily ends up submitting the test results before WineTest.exe has completed, resulting in many rejections by test.winehq.org (https://test.winehq.org/data/errors.html). WineTest appears to be interrupted most often during kernel32:loader, but sometimes it's during kernel32:debugger or ieframe:ie. And once in a while the test completes, though that's pretty rare. Maybe a test crashes the X server, causing winetest.exe to exit prematurely. wt-daily is started by cron so it does not depend on the X server and would start a second winetest command to send the (incomplete) test results. Then it would start the wow32 and wow64 tests and by that time it's possible the X server would have restarted. Interestingly wow32 and wow64 don't seem to cause the X server to crash. cw-rx460 is not a TestBot VM so this does not impact the TestBot results. But it could impact the test.winehq.org results the few times where WineTest completes (though when it does it only gets ~10 failures which is half what the other Wine machines get). So I have disabled the 32 bit WineTest runs until this is resolved. (*) https://github.com/fgouget/wt-daily -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 48090] New: Add support for .com programs
by WineHQ Bugzilla 03 May '21

03 May '21

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48090 Bug ID: 48090 Summary: Add support for .com programs Product: Wine-Testbot Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: fgouget(a)codeweavers.com Distribution: --- The TestBot assumes that if a patch touches a directory in programs, then it must append .exe to the program's name. But Wine could also get .com programs, see for instance chcp.com: https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2019-November/154371.html And in fact we already have other programs with non-standard extensions, for instance winhelp.exe16 and winoldap.mod16. So if the program's directory already has an extension the TestBot should not add one. Another option would be to use the MODULE setting in the directory's Makefile.in file. But the TestBot server does not have access to the Wine source. It would also make it harder to deal with patches adding test directories and it would be quite ugly to have to read them every time anyway. It would make it harder to deal with patches adding dlls/programs as it would require parsing the patch to retrieve the MODULE value. Another option may be to never add an extension, though then there's the risk of getting collisions between the dll and program names, and maybe it impacts other parts of the TestBot anyway. _CreateTestInfo() in testbot/lib/WineTestBot/PatchUtils.pm needs to be patched but there are impacts elsewhere. The WTBS (Wine TestBot test Suite) will also need to be updated. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 32216] New: WienTestBot should skip some tests on some platforms

[Bug 48208] New: Detect missing entry point errors
by WineHQ Bugzilla 03 May '21

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48208 Bug ID: 48208 Summary: Detect missing entry point errors Product: Wine-Testbot Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: fgouget(a)codeweavers.com Distribution: --- When a Windows test executable cannot run because of a missing test executable the TestBot remains stuck until the 2 minutes timeout. This is because Windows puts up an error dialog waiting for user input. In such a case the test report is almost empty and the issue is not obvious until one looks at the screenshot. The TestBot should detect such a situation and warn the user. One simple approach would be for the TestBot to detect that the test report only contains the TestLauncher's start and done lines and indicates a timeout. In such a case it could add a message to the .err file suggesting to check the screenshot. This would only be a heuristic though. A better approach would be for the TestLauncher to detect the error dialog. Ideally, instead of waiting for the child process for the full 2 minutes it would periodically check for the presence of this dialog, which would also speed up the task run. This approach could also be used by WineTest.exe, though presumably missing entry points would have been detected before making it into the Wine source. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 10219] New: Windows Media Player 11 setup fails

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10219 Summary: Windows Media Player 11 setup fails Product: Wine Version: 0.9.48. Platform: PC URL: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/A llDownloads.aspx?displang=en&qstechnology= OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download, Installer Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: alex(a)thehandofagony.com The setup program for Windows Media Player 11 tries to validate Windows if the version is set to XP, and this fails. There was talk some time ago about an ntlm_auth patch that would allow the validation, but it fails for me even though I have the correct version of Samba installed. However, the installer does not run the Genuine check if the Windows version is set to Vista. When run thus it does work, however; it tries to create an instance of a wuapi.dll class, which is not registered in Wine. When I use a native dll from XP and register it the console output changes saying no instance could be created. The installer then says no updates could be found. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
